If your considering a creative writing major and a future career, I would suggest not taking Adderall through college unless absolutely necessary. In my experience amphetamines hinder creativity. However, it is a wonderful drug when memorization and regurgitation is required. It is also extremely helpful when attempting to finish procrastinated term paper . Good luck with your application process. I would suggest to your more schools but I am not familar with the the calibers of Creative Writing departments. I myself am in my first year of a 5 year MBA program.
